Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) is not working on any app. i tried it with my headphones to play/pause and skip a song and nothing. same thing on my car. so its definitely the phone causing the problem. anyone else?
Same here - tried two different devices. No play / pause.
OK, it looks like Google Music has a strangle hold on AVRCP. It works in that app (which I don't use) and nowhere else.
This is one of the reasons I ditched Google Music on my last device. The minute you install it, no other app works with AVRCP.
I tried disabling it in Applications (I am running stock w/o unlock or root ATM), but that does no good. Also tried re-enabling and FC, but again, no joy.
Hopefully someone more skilled that I has a suggestion...
EDIT - there don't appear to be any settings in Google Music to turn off their control. Tried a couple apps in the market like Headset Interceptor, but they did not help.
no google music isnt the problem. it doesnt work on any app. plus on my old phone google music didnt cause any problems and worked just fine.

Hmm... I guess we have two different problems.
On my GNEX, AVRCP (I only care about playing and pausing via BT) works on Google Music, and nothing else.
On my old DINC, I had AVRCP working until I installed Google Music (only change I made), at which point all my other apps' AVRCP capabilities stopped working (Audible, Subsonic, etc.). I then uninstalled Google Music (again, the only change I made), and my AVRCP started working again.
To me, that experience makes it pretty clear that Google Music was causing me grief on my old device, and is mysteriously the only thing that works with this feature on my new device.
Like I said, maybe you have something else going on.
so noone else has this problem?
Try Power Amp
The Power Amp player seems to work on my Senheisser MM450 BT Headphones
I have the same issue.
AVRCP on my bluetooth headset (Plantronics BackBeat 903+) stopped working when I started using Galaxy Nexus.
On my old phone I was using BeyondPod and Player Pro with my headset and play/pause worked from the headset. Now, I cannot stop or play music in those apps.
I can confirm that this has something to do with Google Music.
I found that if I start Google Music then AVRCP works with the headset. If then I go and start Player Pro, the AVRCP stops working, and pushing play/pause button does nothing. Then, when I go back to Goolge Music, everything works fine once again.
So existence of Google Music somehow hampers the ability of other apps to claim bluetooth headset remote control fully. They claim it partially, because Google Music is not starting music on pushing play button, but the player does not start music as well.
Spotify on Nexus S stopped responding to BT Play/Pause after ICS update
I am encountering the same issue after updating my Nexus S to Ice Cream Sandwich via an OTA update.
Using Seinnheser MM450s, I was previously able to fully control Spotify (Play/Pause/Next/Previous). However since updating to ICS, only Next/Previous work. The main button (Play/Pause) has no effect.
However, when I launch the factory Music app, it responds to all controls.
To try and 'debug' the issue, I downloaded a trial of "Headset Droid" app, and used its BlueTooth command monitor debugging facility. As expected, it correctly intercepted and confirmed the Next/Previous button pushes, however failed to acknowledge the Play/Pause functionality.
Has a bug report been filed regarding this issue? Can anyone suggest a workaround?
Thanks - Anj
I have the same issue. Previously - my Nexus One running stock/unrooted 2.3.6 worked perfectly for play/pause/next/previous/start|end call on cheap Chinese Bluetooth headphones. Been using them for weeks with Subsonic, flawlessly.
Moved to Galaxy Nexus, 4.0.1 (apparently .2 hasn't rolled for my geography yet) - same headphones, only next/previous/start|end call work. Play/Pause does nothing in either state, whether I am in Subsonic or not. Haven't tried Music yet as I never use it (lets face it, its of limited value outside the US!).
But I did notice that if I press and hold for quite a while, the play/pause button, it seems to stop the music in some way that isn't quite pause, but nothing else works after that, you have to manually restart it from the app.
(anecdotally, I have the unsubstantiated feeling that some/all system sounds are not piped to the headphones as effectively as Gingerbread. But I haven't tested this yet)
Finally, I note I have occasionally used these headphones on my Honeycomb tablet - Asus Transformer, 3.2.1(?) and it behaves the same as the Nexus One, not the Galaxy Nexus so this is definitely an ICS issue.
I have reported this fault on code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23172 - please add to the comments so that it gathers momentum as an important issue.
I hate to post a me-too, but me too :-(
I'm using doggcatcher on a rooted verizon galaxy nexus on the stock 4.0.2 firmware. My headphones are a sony MW600. Play/pause/ffw/rew don't work in doggcatcher.
I started up google music and went through the setup wizard. the AVRCP buttons work for google music only. Enabling/disabling doggcatcher's "bind to headset forcefully" option has no effect.
I used Titanium Backup to make a backup of Google Music, and then uninstall it. Now Doggcatcher responds to AVRCP button-presses. Anyone else want to give it a try?
Thanks daoist,
Can you confirm that you have to be root to use that particular functionality of Titanium Backup?
Thanks again - Anj
Interesting. Now it seems like google music and Pandora both respond to it. But google listen does not.

I'm having the same issues with my Galaxy Nexus as well. I starred the link mentioned above. I'm using a Plantronics Voyager Pro HD and none of my music controls work. I also can't tap the call button to engage a voice search or anything. I hope Google fixes this sometime soon...This makes my headset quite a bit less useful...
I can confirm the issue on my Gnex LTE running 4.0.2. Google Music works fine. I don't know why, but Doggcatcher is also working fine (Play/Pause works). I noticed that there is a setting in Doggcatcher for "bind to headset" and "start application" - both of which are checked on mine, so maybe that's why it's working.
However, both Pandora and Mog are not working with Play/Pause and there are no headset options in the app settings. So either 1) apps just need to be updated for ICS, or 2) something is amiss in ICS that prevents other apps from using the headset controls. Most likely the latter...
Apparently the developers of Media Button Router have "fixed" this issue.

I can confirm that after installing Media Button Router and configuring to send all BT commands to Spotify - I no longer have the Play/Pause problem.

that works but EVERY time i hit the play/pause button on my mw600 the prompt comes up, freaking annoying, can we have the app that just does the play pause, i dont wnat it to come up asking me what to play pause.
Sorry to revive but i've got an in-car bluetooth and the AVRCP doesn't seem to work with ICS either.. the first time I click play and the first time I click "next track" on the car after the phone connects, the phone will respond correctly, but will not respond to any subsequent buttons until I press the power button on my phone... It's almost like ICS is sitting on all the commands sent to it's AVRCP like a stack, and when I power the phone (either on or into standby), the next click is executed (without any clicks on the car at the time)..
eg: if I hit "Next" twice and "Rew" once on my car, then every time I tap the power button (between on and sleep), it would execute Next, Next and Rew in that order. I have a lock pattern on my phone too, not sure if that's hampering the AVRCP commands either... only way to get out of this is to turn the BT off on the GNEX then on again.. but it does the same thing after the first succesful AVRCP command again.
Last night I tried downloading a volume booster app to help with the speaker since I had read some good things. Since then, the speaker has not been working correctly. For ringtones and alarms, the audio works fine. If I try to watch YouTube or listen to Google Music, the speaker does not work. Everything works fine with headphones in.
Does anyone know a way to fix this? I uninstalled the volume booster apps but they are still not working. I'm currently unrooted as an FYI. I tried to just do a factory reset but that wouldn't even go through
Is anybody experiencing the stop button of BT headphone not functioning when in ICS.
When I was using gingerbread, I did not have any issues with using the stop button of a BT headphone.
Now flashed Mr.X stock ICS rom - both the stock music player and ubermusic, poweramp, etc the stop button of the
BT headphone will not function.
Maybe If I push the Bluuetooth services from Gingerbread to ICS, will it fix the problem?
All of the music players that I tried , under the ICS when I use the BT headphone the play, pause or stop button do not function. Be it the stock music player or a music player that I DL from the market. When I go back to gingerbread, the play, pause, stop button works/functions.
I think it has something to do with the ICS rom.
Is anybody experiencing this issue?
My BT headphones' buttons work, but only with the stock player. I'm on stock rooted Telus ICS.
The most irritating bug is with my BT handsfree in the car (Motorola T505), I can't initiate a call without physically unlocking the phone and going to the voice talk app, the phone won't take a command while locked.
Let me install again the stock music player, I'll check if it works.
The last time I checked it did not work
Yeah you're right... I checked it again, it works with the stock music player, other players it doesn't!
I've tried a couple random ones from the play store none of which worked. If anyone knows an app that will allow me to do this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I've been using Pocket Skip Track and it seems to work fine. The only issue I have is that it will only work with a single music player at a time and you can only skip ahead (not back).

I tried this app but it doesn't seem to work with Spotify. I disabled LG's shortcut keys and played around with the apps settings. When I hit volume up to skip the track the volume just goes up and down.
Looks like we'll have to wait until root. I couldn't find anything either. Only think I can suggest is using bluetooth headphones that have buttons for changing the track built in.

Also if you have wired earphones/headphones that have physical button, most players support skipping to next track by double clicking the main button. Single click pauses the track.
On a side note, I use the power amp media player which is really good, and it also has equalizer built in, (custom configurable) which is not present in either the LG music or Google music apps. You need to use an app called "Equalizer" from the play store if you need custom equalizer for other music apps.
Another option might be the little "button-thingy" that sticks into your headphone jack. I just bought one off of Amazon for $6 to give it a try.

I'll report back once I receive it.
Music Folder Player
Try Music Folder Player. I've used that for awhile. Pretty much hold down the volume button up or down and it will skip to the next song or the previous song.
poweramp has this ability built in

I need to be able to skip songs in Pandora and Spotify. Can this app do that or only for songs played with the app itself? Thanks.
I really want to know

Oh OK. Didn't know you were trying to do that. No that app is just for songs you have in your storage. Sorry.
Just got my pressy (knockoff) button and am happy to report that it DOES work with Spotify. I'm using the app Key Cut and a double press input to skip tracks. It also works with all of the other media players I have tried thus far (Poweramp, Google Music, LG Music). Since I stream most of my music through bluetooth it is a good solution for my needs but not sure if this will help solve your problem.
i really want to know ,thank you ！

I figured either gravity box or wanam for lollipop would work. I just wasn't sure what the UI the G4 would fall under, AOSP (gravity box) or more like TW (wanam); as I don't have the phone yet. I know wanam is for Samsung stock roms but I've used it on other custom roms too. There's also a standalone module called Physical Button Music Control by XspeedPL.
GravityBox works for the most part. Sometimes it won't skip tracks but a reboot fixes it.
The xposed module "Physical Button Music Control" is by far the best option. It works every time without fail whereas gravity box is hit or miss. Plus you can program the volume keys and power button to do more than gravity box can.
Hi, check this app in this thread, it has volume buttons skip tracks with single or double click:

I second this one here, I have tried quite a few, and this one works by far the best, albeit still not perfect.
Hello.
So I had a lot of experience with previous Zenfone devices but this seemed pretty awkward for me. I'll explain the issue and list all of the troubleshooting I've done so far.
Here's the problem, the headset button (I got those cords with volume and play/pause buttons). Seem to activate something else besides just pause or play music. When I press it, it pauses but at the same time audio quality changes to a "Phone line call" Quality... I have to press it a couple times more in order to rotate to the default audio quality... Sometimes it even changes the audio output, I've noticed that even with the headphones plugged in, it seems to change to speakers...
Observations/troubleshooting:
It looks like this problem happens only when the device is locked. The play/pause button behaves normally if the screen is on. During Asus cover screen does the problem too.
It definitely is not the music app (Tho I found weird that it didn't come with a built in music player, BTW Google play is more a store than a music player, so I don't use it... I've been using Black Player for a month now, it's s amazing). I tried messing with the Audio Wizard app, but no matter the settings or the mode I put it, it seems to not fix it.
I tried downloading the Headset Button Control app, it still seems to do something else besides what I assign the button to do...
This didn't happen with my zenfone 2 Z00AD... I love this phone but this issue is important for me because I live in a pretty dangerous country, so I use every tool I have in order to not show my phone outside...
Pls halp.
